He worked for hours and when he reached the mouth the
puppet started making faces at Geppetto.
"Stop that, you naughty boy," Geppetto scolded.
"I won't stop !" cried Pinocchio.
Geppetto, a poor old wood
carver, was making a
puppet from a block of
wood.
"You shall be my little
boy,” he said, “and I will
call you Pinocchio."
"You can talk !" exclaimed Geppetto.
"You've given me a mouth to talk with." Pinocchio said as he rose to his
feet and danced on the table top. "Look what I can do !" he squealed.
"Pinocchio, this is not the time to dance," Geppetto explained. "You must
get a good nights rest. Tomorrow you will start going to school with the
real boys. I have bought a book for you, with the few coins I have. You will
learn many things, including how to behave."
As Pinocchio walked to school the next morning he stopped to look at a puppet
show. He sold his book to go inside.
"I can dance and sing better than those puppets and I don't need strings,"
boasted Pinocchio, and he climbed onto the stage.
The Puppet Master was cross that Pinocchio had jumped onto his stage.
He shouted at him to get down. But when he looked at the crowd of people
he saw that they liked Pinocchio and so he decided to let him stay. He
even paid him 5 copper coins.
"Take these coins and go straight home," said the Puppet Master.
Pinocchio put the coins into his sack.
"We want to help you get rich.
Plant your coins under this
magic tree. In a few hours
they'll turn to gold," said the
Fox.
Pinocchio did not go very far before he met a Fox and a Cat.
Knowing that he had money, they pretended to be his friends. "Come
with us. We'll teach you how to turn those copper pieces into gold,"
said the sneaky Cat.
Pinocchio dug a hole and put the
sack in it.
"Now let's go to the inn for
supper." said the Cat.
After supper the Fox and Cat
quickly snuck away and disguised
themselves as thieves. They hid by
the tree waiting for Pinocchio to
come back and dig up the money.
After Pinocchio dug up the coins
they pounced on him.
"Give us your money !" they ordered. But Pinocchio
held the sack between his teeth and didn’t give
the sack to them. "Give us your money !"
Pinocchio's Guardian Fairy, who had been keeping a close eye on him, sent her dog
to chase the Fox and Cat away. When the Fox and Cat were gone the dog took
Pinocchio back to the fairy’s castle.
"Why didn't you go to school today?" the Fairy asked Pinocchio in a sweet voice.
"I did," answered Pinocchio.
Just then, his nose shot out like a tree branch.
"What's happening to my nose?" he cried.
"Every time you tell a lie,
your nose will grow. When
you tell the truth, it will
shrink," said the Blue
Fairy.
"Pinocchio, you can only
become a real boy if you
learn how to be brave,
honest and generous."
The Blue Fairy told Pinocchio to go home and not to stop for any
reason. Pinocchio tried to remember what the Blue Fairy told him.
On the way to home he met some boys.
"Come with us," said the boys. "We know
a wonderful place filled with games,
giant cakes, pretty candies, and
circuses."
What the boys didn't know was that if
you were bad, you were turned into
donkeys and trained for the circus.
Soon the boys began changing into donkeys. "That's what happens to bad
boys," snarled the Circus Master.
Pinocchio could only grow a donkey's ears, feet, and tail, because he was
made of wood. This meant the Circus Master couldn't sell him to the circus.
The Circus Master threw Pinocchio
into the sea.
As soon as Pinocchio hit the water,
the donkey tail fell off and his own
ears and feet came back.
Pinocchio swam for a very long time.
Just when he couldn't swim any
longer, he was swallowed by a great
whale.
It was very dark inside the whale.
Pinocchio kept floating deep into the whale's stomach.
In the darkness he could see a light.
"Who's there?" called Pinocchio, his voice echoing.
"Pinocchio, is that you?" asked a tired voice.
"Father, you're alive !" Pinocchio shouted with joy.
He wasn't scared anymore.
Pinocchio helped Geppetto build a big raft that would hold both of
them.
When the raft was finished, Pinocchio tickled the whale.
"Hold tight, Father. When he sneezes, he'll blow us out of here !"
cried Pinocchio.
Home at last, Geppetto tucked
Pinocchio into his bed.
"Pinocchio, today you were
brave, honest and generous,"
Geppetto said. "You are my son
and I love you."
Pinocchio remembered what the
Blue Fairy told him.
"Father, now that I've proven
myself I'm waiting for something
to happen," he whispered as he
drifted off to sleep.
The next morning
Pinocchio came running
down the steps, jumping
and waving his arms.
He ran to Geppetto and
said,
"Look Father, I'm a real
boy !"
